Uzbekistan news in short

The United States has frozen aid to Uzbekistan, because of what it calls a lack of progress in democratic reforms.
The US State Department said last July that Uzbekistan had made some encouraging progress over the past year on human rights, but Washington was disappointed by a lack of progress towards democracy.
Uzbekistan has received tens of millions of dollars in US aid since 2001, when, after the September 11 attacks, it allowed American forces to use an air base near the Afghan border.
Earlier this year, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (ERBD) also pulled aid to the country, citing slow reform and a dire human-rights record.
